Reescrita de si pelo outro: identidade portuguesa e paródia em Deus-dará, de Alexandra Lucas Coelho / Rewriting oneself through the other: Portuguese identity and parody in Deus-dará, by Alexandra Lucas Coelho
No full textResumo: O artigo aponta o modo como o romance Deus-dará de Alexandra Lucas Coelho, escritora portuguesa contemporânea, pode ser compreendido como um exercício de renegociação da identidade portuguesa em relação a questões referentes à colonização no Brasil. Mais do que isso, problematiza-se como, por meio da estratégia da paródia no texto ficcional, a autora consegue expressar uma necessidade e possibilidade de se redefinir pelo outro em um movimento contrário ao do discurso colonial – o que também ocorre em suas entrevistas e em suas narrativas de viagens, tais como em Vai, Brasil e Cinco Voltas na Bahia e um beijo para Caetano Veloso. Palavras-chave: identidade portuguesa; paródia; pós-modernismo; escrita portuguesa contemporânea; Alexandra Lucas Coelho. Abstract: The article observes how the novel Deus-dará, by Alexandra Lucas Coelho, a Portuguese contemporary writer consists in an exercise of renegotiation for the Portuguese identity in relation to issues that refer to the colonization process in Brazil. Moreover, this text seeks to show how parody as a fictional literary strategy helps the author in expressing a necessity and a possibility of redefining oneself through the other, in a direction that goes in the opposite way of the colonial speech. This necessity and this possibility also appear in the author’s interviews and travel books, such as Vai, Brasil and Cinco Voltas na Bahia e um beijo para Caetano Veloso, which will also be mentioned in this article.Keywords: Portuguese identity; parody; post-modernism; Portuguese contemporary writing; Alexandra Lucas Coelho
Stages for the More Sustainable Farm
No full textCurrently, agricultural farm units are faced with a double and most times contradictory challenge, in order to be successful: on the one hand the invested capital has to be profitable and the economic performance has to be maximised. On the other hand, given the socio-environmental situation, it is necessary to preserve and to protect the environment and natural resources. Given the potential conflict of the two aims, since the satisfaction of one implies the underperformance of the other (and vice versa), the question then is: which is the solution to choose? We intend, in this work, to formulate a farm plan with the purpose of reconciling the criteria of environmental sustainability with that of economic competitiveness. For this achievement we proceed to the comparative study of sustainability of different groups of farms identified in the study area (first evaluation cycle) through MESMIS (“Marco para la Evaluación de Sistemas de Manejo de Recursos Naturales Mediante Indicadores de Sustentabilidad” - Framework for Evaluation of Natural-Resource Systems Handling through Sustainability Indicators) methodology, that allowed to select the more sustainable group of farms. Based on the found potentialities and weakness on these production systems, we stepped to the planning of a production unit of bovine meat, which obeys simultaneously to economic and environmental objectives, using Multicriteria Decision. We finished the work with the sustainability evaluation between groups of farms identified previously and the planned farms (second evaluation cycle), based, again, in the MESMIS methodology, to confirm (or not) the greatest sustainability of the last ones. Analyses of the results allow us to confirm the greatest relative sustainability of the planned farm, for the diverse traced scenarios.Decision taking, planning, sustainability, Environmental Economics and Policy, Farm Management,
As páginas da beleza: as representações sobre a beleza feminina na imprensa (1960/1980) /
No full textDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Filosofia e Ciências Humanas.Pensando a beleza como um processo, e não como um dom ou como algo natural busca-se neste trabalho perceber de que forma determinados veículos da mídia (como jornais, revistas) publicizam, apresentam e representam a beleza feminina. Estudam-se aqui especificamente as representações da beleza feminina produzidas entre os anos de 1960 e 1980, em espaços como as revistas femininas, os suplementos dedicados às mulheres por revistas e jornais, bem como a crítica feminista referente a este tema. A questão central desta dissertação é historicizar alguns aspectos relativos a beleza, apontando as relações que a constróem no período em destaque e contextualizando-as. Além dos padrões de beleza propriamente ditos como a magreza, a juventude, a cor da pele, também preocupa-se em discutir alguns referenciais de gênero que podem ser lidos junto as representações da beleza. Ou seja, também é uma preocupação desta discussão apontar quais as prescrições de gênero aparecem ao lado dos discursos e imagens relativos a beleza. Como pode ser acompanhado ao longo dos três capítulos que formam o trabalho, a beleza tem sido tematizada de diferentes modos ao longo do tempo. Numa história repleta de rupturas e continuidades valores como graça, elegância, meiguice, liberdade, ou ainda magreza, robustez se intercalam como sinônimos de beleza. Percebe-los e principalmente contextualiza-los é portanto o exercício desta dissertação

Athaliah and Alexandra: Gender and Queenship in Josephus [Author Accepted Manuscript]
No full textAthaliah and Alexandra were the only two women to rule as queens of Judah/Judaea in their own right and both women’s reigns are reported in Josephus’ writings. Despite their uniqueness, however, Athaliah and Alexandra are rarely compared in scholarship; the former is usually dismissed, and focus centred on the latter. This article contends that there are historical similarities between the two, but literary differences. Josephus could have referred to Athaliah or used elements of her portrayal in his presentation of Alexandra but does not, creating the impression that Alexandra was completely different to her predecessor. It may be instructive, therefore, to consider why Josephus literarily isolates the queens and what this means for his interpretation of Alexandra
Comunicação online de uma marca de moda: Relatório de Estágio na Alexandra Moura
No full textA comunicação online tem vindo a demonstrar ser um elemento essencial à interação e reflexão dos produtos e personalidade das marcas com os consumidores. Abrangendo-os atualmente a nível mundial e geracional. Com o acesso às diferentes redes sociais, o cliente consegue aceder a toda a informação e conteúdo necessário para entender as marcas e quais os seus valores e objetivos, possibilitando a sua identificação ou rejeição. Daí ser importante entender o mercado e a forma como a comunicação online de uma marca influencia a sua identidade e modo como o cliente a vê. É a partir dessa idealização de conexão com uma marca que se rege este relatório de estágio. O estágio decorre no atelier da designer Alexandra Moura, no qual o foco principal é a comunicação da marca através do online. Será aplicada assim uma metodologia capaz de providenciar entendimento na matéria e posterior aplicação em meio profissional, começando por uma revisão literária; seguida da análise da marca principal Alexandra Moura, da secundária ZERO; e de uma análise qualitativa do antes e depois do estágio nas redes sociais da marca através da comparação de tabelas de identidade online; Por fim será apresentado o desenvolvimento da aluna tendo em consideração a sua capacidade de análise ao transportar conhecimentos dados em aula e provenientes da revisão literária sobre o branding e o que o mesmo engloba.Online communication has proven to be an essential element for the interaction and reflection of brands' products and personalities with consumers, currently encompassing them on a global and generational level. With access to various social media platforms, customers can access all the necessary information and content to understand brands, their values, and objectives, allowing for identification or rejection. Therefore, it is important to understand the market and how a brand’s online communication influences its identity and how customers perceive it. This report is guided by the idea of creating a connection with a brand. The internship takes place at the atelier of designer Alexandra Moura, where the main focus is the brand’s communication through online channels. A methodology will be applied that provides understanding of the subject and its subsequent application in a professional environment, starting with a literature review; followed by an analysis of the main brand, Alexandra Moura, the secondary brand, ZERO; and a qualitative analysis of the brand's social media before and after the internship, through the comparison of online identity tables. Finally, the student's development will be presented, considering her ability to apply classroom knowledge and insights from the literature review on branding and what it entails
